Clinical Nurse B-FIT
About The Position
The Clinical Nurse B-Flexible Integrated Team (FIT) is part of the Loma Linda University Medical Center-Murrieta float pool. The nurse works from a home department and may be reassigned to another patient care department at LLUMC-Murrieta where additional staffing is needed, including to cover sick calls, vacations, legislative leaves, or vacancies. The role requires flexibility and readiness to accept assignments wherever needed. The nurse uses discretion and independent judgment to prioritize, coordinate, provide, and document direct and indirect age-specific, developmentally appropriate, patient-centered care in a fast-paced environment. With minimal supervision, the nurse carries out the nursing process—assessment, care planning, intervention, and evaluation—in accordance with the Professional Practice Model (Duffy's Quality Caring Theory), supporting individualized physical, psychosocial, and spiritual wellness and providing compassionate bereavement support as appropriate. Working in a skills-mix environment, the nurse delegates tasks to unlicensed staff within their scope of practice. The nurse applies theory to clinical practice, continually develops knowledge and specialty skills, and meets the qualifications, licensure, certifications, competencies, and staffing requirements defined in the department's Plan for Providing Care. The position also contributes to professional, cooperative, culturally responsive work relationships and safe, excellent patient care. Loma Linda University Health is a faith- and values-based Christian institution; candidates must understand and embrace its mission, purpose, and identity.
